Hi everyone. I'm new here. I don't have a Marauder:( , but I do drive another Panther and that's a '99 Crown Vic Police Interceptor.

This looks like a nice board! Some good looking Marauders here too. I do have a question though. What is the difference between the Marauder 300A and 300B? I've seen them mentioned in some of the sigs, and was just wondering that those are.

Ryan, welcome...did I see you over on CVN?

300A is the model for the first-produced MM...the 300B is the same car, minus the automatic parking-brake release, the electric fuel door, the stand-alone clock, and the full-size spare...but it does have traction control and heated seats (optional)...the 300B started to be produced around November, IIRC

Thanks for the info, RF Overlord. Yes, I am on CVN.

I forgot to mention that 300As only came in Black...all Blue and Silver cars are 300Bs...except in Canada...don't ask... :rolleyes:

and then there are the early 300Bs, so far it seems all manufactured in November, that have everything the 300A has, including Traction Control ( even the 'flat' wiper blades)

In addition to RC Signals post:
Minus the full size spare tire.
Welcome aboard.
I do not have a MM either but I do drive a '92 GMLS with a '92 CVPI engine, PCM, fan, and 16" steel wheels with Explorer center caps. My GM also has the Handling and Performance package ($1600+ back then) that includes: dual exhaust (now with Flowmasters, 3.27 open rear, unique springs, shocks, stabilizer bars, steering gear, and rear air suspension (changed over the police coil springs).

RF, mine is 300A but does not have the full size spare. Then again, it is Canadian (don't ask).

Canada only got 300A's. Sence it was the first model offfereed there, it is an A designation.

Thank you for the help guy! I appreciate it. So, the black ones are 300A and the silver and blue are 300B? Or is it by the options?

Welcome!! Just run a search through the forums on this subject, you will find a multitude of information on the subtle variances between the two codes.
